To all 'whom t 'may concern:

Be it known that I, Bnnn H. BRREsoN, a

tizen of the United States, resident of,

iinneapolis, county of Hennepin, State of .,linnesota, have invent-ed certain new and useful Improvements in Card or Tag Holders, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a simple, inexpensive frameor holder in whichA a card or tag adapted for use on an automobile or other vehicle may be mounted and protected from damage by the weather.

A further object is vto Vprovide a holder which will present a neat, ornamental appearance on the dashboard or other part of g the vehicle where it may be mounted.'

The invention consists generally in various constructions and combinations, all :as here- Vpart of this specification',

inafter described andi particularly pointedl yuit in the claims. Y I In the accompanying drawings forming Figurev 1 is a plan lview of a lcard or tag holder embodying'my invention, v

Figurey 2 is a sectionalview of the blank after lthe rst operation of ythe die, Y

Figure 3' is a similar view following 'the next operation ofthe die. y

Figure 4 is a sectional view throughy the completed holder,`showing the edges folded inwardly for locking or lprotecting the trans-.y parent plate -in position in the'holder.

In the drawlng, 2 represents a plate or sheet of suitable metal, preferably of aluminum, having a depressed portion 3 Vformed by the application ofa die thereto to provide a recess forthe reception of the card or tag placed in the holder, which is inserted through the slot 4 formed in one j end wall of the recess when the die is applied to kpress down the material to form such recess. This slot 4 extends transversely through the end. wall of the recess and through it the card or tag maybe easily in-` serted and removed. f f

A rib a is preferably formed betweenthe recess 2 and the edgel of the plate which willv exclude the dirt and moisture from the holder.

The next step inthe operation is to fold 191e. serial 110.315,121.

the edges ofthe blank to form a verticali flange 5 between which and thek recess a shelf or step 6 is provided whereon the cel- Y luloid or other transparent sheet 7 is placed.

This sheetA covers the recess and the card or tag therein and protects it from damage by wet or from other causes, while at the same i time allowing the free inspection of thev card and the printed `matter or writing thereon.
